I'm having some hesitancy pulling the trigger to get my business officially going.

My biggest barrier to get this going is my fear of failure. I have people in my life telling me that it won't work and that I am simply wasting my time, but I feel my idea will work. However, the negativity I keep hearing is starting to get to my head.

I'm afraid of failing and then having those same people tell me, "I told you so!"

Is failing the only way to get over failing?

Are there any other says to get my mind right?
